Wear Wanderlust On Your Sleeve With These Travel-Themed Accessories
Wanderlust comes in all forms.
There are the free spirits, who, like dandelion seed in the wind, are happy to float across the world and get excited about wherever they land. There are also the big dreamers, who have collection jars labeled “travel fund” and dozens of potential travel itineraries scribbled in a journal somewhere. Some are planners who always have another road trip or flight booked, lest they live without the excitement of another destination solidified.
Whatever kind of wanderlust you have, advertise it with one of these travel-loving accessories.

They say that if you put the energy out there, whatever you want is more likely to come to you. Perhaps if you wear the country-shaped charm of your choice, the universe will take notice.

ModCloth Keepsake on the Sunny Side Weekender Bag, $90
Every world traveler needs a weekender bag. Suitcases work for the big trips, but if you're heading out for the weekend on a whim, it's easier to just stuff your necessities into an oversized bag and toss it in the back of your car or carry it with you on the plane (cheaper, too). ModCloth makes a bunch of them and they're all reasonably priced.

You know what else a woman with wanderlust needs? A notebook to keep track of all her adventures.
